Dorms & Social Spaces

Three student dorms are the cornerstones to Walker’s residential community.

Do homework in a comfy chair, cozy up next to the fireplace on a cold night, or make a meal in the dorm kitchen… in the dorms you will thrive in a home-like environment while learning about responsibility and independence.

In between classes, boarding and day students hang out in multiple places on campus: the library, the social center, student locker rooms, dorm common rooms, or out on the quad in warmer weather.

For new students, we will carefully match you with a roommate or roommates that match up with your sleep patterns, study habits and interests, via a roommate questionnaire. Returning students are allowed to choose their roommates before the end of the year.

Each student is provided with a desk, dresser, and a bed. Bathrooms are ensuite and are shared by two rooms. In Cluett dormitory, there are hallway baths that are shared by the wing. Each building has a common room and a kitchen.

Anything that makes your room feel like home! We encourage students to bring their pillows, blankets, comforters, towels, shower caddy, desk lamp, fan, alarm clock, laundry bag, flashlight, and lock box to store any valuables. Students should also bring learning materials, such as their iPad. Refrigerators, televisions, and cooking equipment (toasters, hot pots, etc.) are not allowed in the dorms.

Proctors are student leaders who are your first line of help in the dorms. They can help you navigate your schedule, suggest solutions to issues, and help you and your roommate with anything that may come up. They celebrate your birthday and your accomplishments with you and the rest of the dorm.
